Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any quirks, special instructions, meds, health history, etc.. Also, how is your pet with other dogs or cats? Do they have any walking triggers? Special bowls they eat out of? Favorite chair to snuggle in? Love belly rubs or chin scritches? The more info I have, the better I can care for your loved one! Please note: All boarding & daycare dogs must be on a flea & tick preventative & up-to-date on all shots/vaccinations.

A typical day

I provide an exceptional level of care for all animals. I’m attentive, kind, compassionate and excited to bond with your furry companion. I strongly believe in the importance of physical and mental stimulation for pets. Enrichment is crucial for a healthy, happy companion animal. For dogs, we go on long walks, sniffari’s and do command work & puzzle toys. For cats clients , I have my own wands and toys for enrichment. No cats can resist my special bumblebee toy!

Pet care experience

•Privately insured• •Red Cross Pet CPR/First Aid Certified• Welcome! I am happy to accommodate your pets’ unique needs, preferences and schedules. I provide high quality, reliable and personalized care for all companion animals. I believe communication is essential to an overall great experience. You will always receive plenty of updates and adorable photos of your pets’ time with me. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any special requests or concerns that I should be aware of. I am happy to work with you and your loved one to accommodate as best I can! For cat care: I’ve been told I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. I’m a cat mama to two senior rescues and I have many wonderful kitties that I watch on a regular basis. I offer individualized, premium care tailored to your cats’ personality, needs and lifestyle. Most cats need enrichment and companionship- be it engaging in some energetic play with wand toys, giving chin scritches and pets to snuggly kitties or being a calming presence in the home for shy cats. I firmly believe in allowing cats to guide our interactions and am well-versed in cat behavior. I am also knowledgable about feline health and always keep an eye out for any physical or behavioral concerns/changes. For dog walking: *Please note, at this time, I have limited spots available and require a minimum of 3 walks/week. Thanks! * I offer dog walks to suit any pups' needs. I’m an experienced, professional dog walker. I use redirection & positive reinforcement for your dogs’ safety and comfort. During our walks, your dog will be happy, healthy and safe while getting exercise, mental stimulation (never underestimate the importance of sniffing!) and fresh air. I am a full-time pet care professional. Caring for cats and dogs is my job, as well as my passion. I’m also involved in volunteer wildlife advocacy work in my free time. Safety and comfort is crucial! The more information I have about your furry family member, the better I am able to care for them. I am knowledgeable about dog and cat behavior & am Red Cross Pet FirstAid/CPR certified. Please reach out with any questions or inquiries. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet family members!

Anna is incredible! I feel so lucky to have her taking care of my fur baby. He is always in good hands with Anna. She takes great care of him and is super attractive to his needs.
